'Mixed Up'
Now presented for the first time as double picture disc set in a gatefold sleeve with a download voucher.

We
have released the entire confirmed line-up that has been booked, which
does not currently include Robert Smith or The Cure. However, further
gigs will be announced on 10 April, including the final two Royal
Festival Hall bookings.

Update (March 16th, 2018): "Just had email from Southbank Centre, confirming that more acts for
Meltdown festival will be announced at 10am on Tues 10th April. Tickets
on sale to members 10am, Friday 13th April." Thanks, @mattsmudge.

Also, Nine Inch Nails have confirmed one more band. Black Moth Super Rainbow will be opening for them.

As @slicingeyeballs pointed out, it isn't ALL CAPS, so probably just his social media person, not actually Robert. And Robert has said that the only place he actually posts updates himself is TheCure.com. Not Twitter or Facebook or anywhere else.

Update (March 16th, 2018): The @RobertSmith and @thecure accounts have finally been verified. Now you know that any other accounts claiming to be Robert or The Cure are fakes. If you're ever in doubt, check for the verification check mark. Unfortunately, the @reevesgabrels account, which has recently had to deal with an imposter trying to scam fans, is still waiting. Get on that, Twitter!

A pretty open secret that 'The Crow 2' was not my best experience and I shall be speaking about our Hollywood days together on stage with Vincent Perez from 24-28th March at his festival in Lausanne, Switzerland, plus some new announcements... pic.twitter.com/O9eGjcDOri

Very excited to attend my dear friend Vincent Perez's new festival in Lausanne, Switzerland, in March, where a retrospective of my video work and also a presentation of some of my short films. I also get to present a 35mm print of a very famous 1970's film and to talk about it.

David Bowie's Earthling: Where Led Zeppelin meets Won't Get Fooled Again

As well as playing guitar on the album, you were Bowie’s co-producer and co-writer on Earthling. What was the aim with that record?

There was talk that the album was jumping on the drum’n’bass bandwagon, but it’s more influenced by what came to be called electronica. David loved [electronic artists] Photek and Tricky. Those influences were in the air at the time. I never told David this, but in my head I was thinking more of Won’t Get Fooled Again – the muscular rock band with sequential information.

How did the songwriting collaboration work between the two of you?

We were both into collages. I had gotten into Pro Tools [sound recording and production software], sampling – which now seem like ancient technology. So I’d create these electronic sequences, we’d dump them into the computer, sit in the studio with our little travel guitars, and play and sing against the backing track. The other thing, both of us were art-school kids, so we loved the Burroughs cut-up method. Lyrically, David had been doing it by hand for years. And then a friend came up with a Mac program called the Verbasizer. All you had to do was put in a paragraph and it would shuffle it up. So ‘It will end in tears’ might come out as ‘It will end in chrome’ [laughs].

The new documentary about the influential Long Island radio station WLIR is coming to Showtime on March 30th. New Wave: Dare to Be Different focuses on how the station helped break some of the biggest British bands of the Eighties like U2, the Cure, the Smiths, New Order, Duran Duran and Depeche Mode in the United States.

Dare to Be Different features interviews with WLIR program director Denis McNamara, other members of the station crew and an array of artists including Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, Depeche Mode and Erasure's Vince Clarke and the B-52's Fred Schneider. "

Lol's son, Gray Tolhurst, has a new band called Topographies. They have just released a new video for their song 'Pink Thoughts', which you can watch above. I love it! If you like what you hear, check them out and give them a follow on these sites:Bandcamp / Twitter / Facebook / Instagram

Also, as of now, 'Torn Down' looks to be getting a wide release, though probably not as a picture disc, on June 8th, 2018. This has not been officially confirmed, but Universal has a listing for it. No word on a wide release for 'Mixed Up' yet.

Monday, March 5, 2018

Update (03/05/18): According to the list posted at The Future Heart, 'Mixed Up' is limited to 7,000 copies, and 'Torn Down' is a picture disc and also limited to 7,000 copies.

As Chris White pointed out over the weekend, Universal UK has a 'Torn Down' vinyl listed for release on June 8th. Cat no - 6743092 UPC 00602567430926.
Would think that's the regular non-picture disc release. No word on a CD release yet, but maybe that would be a bonus disc with a remastered 'Mixed Up' CD? Should know something very soon.
